You know how it is sometimes when you listen to one of your favourite bands or albums? It just.. resonates right. Have that special vibe. In short: it hits “the spot”. Guess what? It’s actually scientifically stated that the more you [...]

The headline is stolen – it is not mine… but admit it: it sounds nice! It is Rolling Stone that have published this beautiful piece of thing, and it is filled with… strange stuff. Of coruse, you should read the article (hey, the pic is [...]

I like Chris Cornell. His voice is pure gold, and the last album “Higher Truth” is one of his best efforts to date, I’d like to say. Also, he seems to have some sense of fun. This time, he completely messes up a performance of [...]

New year, new records to dig in to. Before we do that though, let’s have a quick look at the best, the boldest and the most beautiful from last year, shall we? Top 50. Description and more info on the swedish site, but this is at least a brief [...]

Awful. How very awful, losing both Lemmy and Bowie within mere weeks, and having to cope with the loss and the fact that both stars – active until the end – will never again enter a stage. At least in this world. Because perhaps this is how it [...]

So, BLOODBATH did one of those rare things the other night: play live in Sweden. At Debaser Strand, a very small and intimate venue. Probably a warm-up gig to the Bloodbash-thing in London, but hey. we’ll take it anyway. The gig was great, and [...]

This interview was originally published during the Heavy MetAle 48-hour craziness on the Swedish website during end of September. It has been requested in English as well, so: here you go! Hi there, Ida Evileye and CRUCIFIED BARBARA, and welcome to the [...]

November is upon us. In this northern place that is Sweden it usually means darkness and almost despair. The cold slowly creeps in, and it is usually a month when the snow is only present in the real northern parts of the country, leaving the rest of us [...]

You know Brewdog, the brewery behind hits like Punk IPA amd Dead Pony Pale Ale? They want you. Or, rather, they want your money. As part of trying to build a stronger brand and company they are doing a call to arms, offering each and all of us to buy [...]

Want to make a wish? This pic from Mike Portnoy shows you how to do it. Just take a great thrash metal singer (Mark Ousegueda from DEATH ANGEL) or one of your frineds, hang him on Gary Holt (SLAYER, EXODUS) and yourself (again, you can use a friend for [...]

No. I don’t think so – let’s stay REPENTLESS! Today is the releaseday of what is probably the most anticipated and debated record during 2015 – the return of SLAYER with “Reneptless”. This is the first album that the [...]

So, I just know you saw the excellent “Reign In Bleach”-video posted earlier on at this site – and today we’ll do another short but equally excellent and funny viedoa. It’s Norwegian black metallers WINDIR (more or less [...]

Think a while on what charasteristic you would like to see on a great power metal album. Good, crisp and epic production? Great singing? Catchy riffs, songs that galllop fast as well as include a great ballad or two? Varied, sing-along-worthy songs, a [...]

Back to work after a long vacation in a (mostly) rainy Sweden. It’s always difficult to turn on the brain after being off, and start thinking – but one nice thing is that it’s easier to start blogging and reviewing records again. And the [...]

Okay, so you have to like a band like DEATH ANGEL. Cousins, from a foreign country, trying to make it as kids in the US and starting out with an album as “The Ultra-Violence”. You may be a bit hesitant of the band’s quality if you want [...]
